It was widely believed that quarterback Justin Fields had the backing of every member of the Chicago Bears organization during his time there.
That wasn’t quite the case, though, since evidence is emerging now that the 25-year-old signal caller is no longer employed by the company.
According to Go Long TD’s Tyle Dunne, who stated sources confirmed to him that the relationship between the two quarterbacks was “toxic as hell,” Fields did not get along with former colleague Nick Foles.
The information provided by Dunne appears to corroborate what Josh Lucas, the former director of player personnel for the Bears, said to Windy City Gridiron in February regarding the dynamics within Chicago’s quarterback room.
Lucas remarked, “Justin’s rookie year wasn’t great.” “We thought having two vets with him would really help him with Andy and Nick and that was not cohesive at all.”
For the 2021 season, Fields and Foles were the sole teammates.
While the latter was 1-0 and passed for 250 yards and a touchdown as the third-string quarterback behind Dalton, the former was 2-8 as the starter with 1,870 yards, seven touchdowns, and ten interceptions.
